Sherbert Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hey guys, after seeing the new Mad Max ive been chomping at the bit to do some post apocalyptic models. After looking around the interwebz I noticed several other people had the same feeling and had turned to hot wheels as base models. I decided that I would model up some hot wheels in mad max style for my local hobby group so we could play car wars or some other suitable game. here are the first two cars. They are mostly done, but I might add some extra bits and bobs later. and here is a very wip mustang Im hoping to get around 10 of these done so my local group can blow each other up en masse 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 hmmm GW had a car wars type game back in the day - I never played it. But could someone have the rules for it somewhere on the internet? what was it called… dark future or something? I will have to look for an old WD to find an ad for it. I know they advertised what looked like hot wheels or match box sized cars... - I would be interested! -d Quick internet search... https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2285/dark-future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrizic Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 OFF TOPIC: You need to post pics of your buildings as well Sherbert, they are amazing and deserve to be appreciated by the masses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 hmmm may be easier to scale up Car Wars (which I have nearly all the books )… played that like crazy in the day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I was just reading an article elsewhere with people doing the above...suggestions were garage sales for old hot wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Sweet! Really looking forward to this. Dark Futures used to be a free pdf back when GW had the Specialist Games up. Does any one by chance have a copy they could link (or email me)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Can't verify it or anything, but a quick google found this... http://forum.yeoldeinn.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2241 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone braver/more foolhardy than me want to give it a shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbert Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Torg- Awesome, ill be looking into that. intrizic- I did at one point post everything but it kinda became a hassle. Plus I havnt been very active in building anything of late. andozone- I was thinking about that but im impatient. Jim- thanks! I got some work done, almost ready to start painting the first batch. I have another couple of cars on the way, hopefully they will arrive this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherbert Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 And I had a couple more hours for painting than I thought today so i got these done. A friend is going to dig through his old collection of toys from when he was a kid and donate a couple next week. Hopefully he can find some truck and off road vehicles with the slightly larger tires. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got another four cars that I want to build before I start painting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
